Too funny. I just found out that if I send a certain chunk of data to a Windows 2000 box using the infrared port on my Newton, I can exploit a known buffer overflow vulnerability and, like the tilt switch in a pinball machine, cause the system to reboot. Of course, a patch is available. But what fun is that? Damn, sometimes I miss working in an enterprise environment.
